Suggestions for closing out the first weekend of San Diego Beer Week

Chargers vs. Redskins Sour Brunch: The Chargers appear to be on the right track. Catch this case of lightning in a bottle along with glass after glass of tart, tasty sour beer from a board stocked with acidic treats from the deep, cold box of wonders at O’Brien’s Pub. |O’Brien’s Pub, 4646 Convoy Street, Kearny Mesa, 10 a.m.

Man the Victory At Sea Fleet: Few beers take on as many flavors so nicely as Victory At Sea, a coffee- and vanilla-infused imperial porter from Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits. Get iterations stoked with everything from peppermint and fennel to mole and Crunchberries. |Hamilton's Tavern, 1521 30th Street, South Park, 10 a.m.

Fifth Annual Green Flash Smokeout: Described as “a petting zoo of smoked meats,” this event will feature meats and seafood from local producers, plus live cooking demos, and special beers like Little Freak and Silva Stout. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. |Carnitas’ Snack Shack, 2632 University Avenue, North Park, 12 p.m.

Disclosure: In addition to his work as a staff writer for the Reader, Brandon Hernández is also a communications specialist for Stone Brewing Co. However, his recommendation of the aforementioned event organized by the company is provided independent of that employment relationship.
